  • Abstract
    This paper presents a level set technique to extract the vascular structures in coronary angiography. It makes use of the Mumford-Shah functional to extract contours that are not necessary defined by gradient. A shape artery simulator was implemented to test and evaluate the detection method. Experimental results are presented on simulated data and real images successively
